Port Askaig Islay – 100 Proof 70 CL 57,1%

Islay Singe Malt Scotch Whisky

Port Askaig 100 Proof is a single malt whiskey from a “secret” distillery on Islay. The “100 Proof” comes from the old British scale for measuring alcohol, and can be translated to 57.1% alcohol. It is rumored that Caol Ila supplies the whiskey for this bottling.

Colour: Light golden.
Smell: Beautiful and classic Islay smell of smoked bacon, extinguished fire and wet stones.
Tasting notes: Mineral and crisp. Lime, spicy cinnamon notes, a little milk chocolate and coffee.

Serving suggestion: Should be enjoyed neat, but feel free to add a few drops of water.

Port Askaig is a series of whiskeys from Elixir Distillers. The brand is named after the town of the same name, which is located on the east coast of Islay and for hundreds of years has been known as the “gateway to Islay”. Many smugglers and whiskey fans have sailed from here and there over the years, and the name has almost become synonymous with smoke and seaweed and tar. Close to the town are also the Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain distilleries, which are rumored to play the main roles in several of the bottlings.

From Port Askaig, the coastline of the nearby Isle of Jura can be seen on a clear day, and it is this coastline that is the motif on the label of the Port Askaig bottlings.

The blender and bottling company Elixir Distillers was founded by the two brothers Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh, who are also behind the shop The Whiskey Exchange. They use their extensive experience from virtually every nook and cranny of the spirit world to fuse traditional craftsmanship with an insatiable hunger to experiment and innovate. The main focus is definitely on Scotch whisky, but also Japanese, Irish and American whiskey as well as tequila and rum have found their way into Elixir Distillers’ beautifully designed bottles. Among the most notable brands we find Elements of Islay, Port Askaig, Single Malts of Scotland and Black Tot.

Originally the company was called Specialty Drinks, and the name only changed to Elixir Distillers in 2017 – but if the two brothers blend and bottle whiskey, where does the “Distiller” part come in? Well, in 2018 they announced plans to build a new distillery on Islay’s south coast. The future looks bright for fans of smoke and peat!
